Research Security

International collaborations, students, and scholars are vital and integral aspects of our continued scientific endeavors. Recently, United States government agencies and research sponsors are looking closely at whether engagements with foreign individuals and entities are compliant with the laws and regulations that apply to research funding. This is an evolving area of concern and focus for the government, and their main concerns focus on national security and the potential for valuable intellectual property and other research resources being inappropriately and sometimes illegally transferred to foreign nations. Members of Congress and officials in other federal agencies have begun a searching look at the relationships that academia, business, and related organizations have with other national governments and foreign entities.

This webpage has been developed to keep the Rockefeller community updated with regard to developments in laws and policies in this area, news from sponsors, provide additional guidance and best practices, and other training materials. It will be updated as requirements change over the course of time and as we develop or modify processes. 

It is important that Rockefeller faculty, students and staff are aware of relevant procedures and regulations that governing research activities to ensure that all activities are in full compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
